Today we began our day by going to MGM and watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It was pretty sad because there was this guy who was so pumped to be on the show and then he lost on the first question which was an obvious answer. Then we went on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster which I'd have to say is my favorite ride because it's the first roller coaster I ever went on. A couple years back a couple of my closest friends dragged me on it, lying to me the whole time, saying that it was slow with no loops and all that when it's actually kinda fast and in the dark and has quite a few loops. In the end it turned out to be a really fun ride so I guess it was worth it. We had to go on Star Wars for Becca since she totally loves the movie. After that we headed off to Chick-Fil-A for lunch, which was so yummy! Then to Epcot for the turkey/emu leg and the ride Mission: Space. That was a cool ride that kinda made me sick. It was sorta like the spinning ride at Idlewild in that you have to keep your focus on one thing because if you look away you get really sick and because the G-Force or whatever is holding you down while you're spinning like crazy. We were gonna go on a couple other rides there but the wait time was 100 minutes, so we decided that no ride is worth waiting that long and headed to Magic Kingdom. While there we went into the Haunted Mansion, on Pirates of the Caribbean, and on Thunder Mountain (which I think is a fun ride). After all this we decided that it was about time to go (but not before Chels got her funnel cake) since it was almost 11pm and the parade was about to begin. So, we got the funnel cake (those things are good as I just recently found out) and squished our way through thousands of people staring at the chipmunks, swans, and various other characters dancing their way through the parade. By the time we got out of there, rode the monorail, and arrived in the parking lot we were exhausted and the sugar from our junk food was kicking in. Becca's kinda short so Chels, Abby, and I were jumping up to touch the ceiling and tree branches and talking about tree huggers (Val would be proud). Then we saw the pole and decided to become pole huggers instead (in spite of Val's tree hugging beliefs). That just about ended off the night. Earlier we had gotten yelled at by Disney cast members for ducking under the rope instead of walking around (even though no one was in line). So, we decided to end the night by breaking the rules one last time by walking through the grass instead of on the sidewalks. Overall it was a fun day but I'm exhausted since it's now 1:30 in the morning, so I'm going to bed now.
